Definitions
- the invention relates to an ink composition the properties of which are particularly well-suited for liquid jet marking or printing, and most particularly for continuous deflected ink jet marking, printing.
- the ink composition according to the invention may be used to mark substrates, supports and objects of all kinds.
- the ink composition according to the invention is suitable in particular for marking substrates, supports and objects made of organic polymers, particularly thermoplastic polymers ("plastics"), such as polyolefins such as polyethylenes (PE) or polypropylenes (PP), or poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET).
- plastics such as polyolefins such as polyethylenes (PE) or polypropylenes (PP), or poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET).
- PET poly(ethylene terephthalate)
- the ink composition according to the invention is particularly suitable for marking bottles or stoppers made of organic polymers, notably polyolefins, such as polyethylenes or polypropylenes.
- the ink composition according to the invention enables resistant markings to be obtained, which are notably resistant to rubbing and to common solvents such as ethanol, and which are adherent, i.e. which pass the adhesive tape peel test.
- Ink jet printing is a well-known technique, which allows printing, marking or decoration of all kinds of objects, at high speed, and without any contact between these objects and the printing device, of messages which can be changed at will, such as bar codes, sell-by dates, etc., even on non-planar supports.
- Ink jet printing techniques are divided into two major types, namely: the technique known as “Drop on Demand” (DOD), and the technique known as “Continuous Ink Jet” (CIJ).
- DOD Drop on Demand
- CIJ Continuous Ink Jet
- Continuous deflected ink jet spraying, printing consists in sending pressurised ink into a cavity containing a piezoelectric crystal, from where the ink escapes through an aperture (nozzle) in the form of a jet.
- the piezoelectric crystal vibrating at a determined frequency, causes pressure disturbances in the ink jet, which oscillates and is gradually broken up into spherical drops or droplets.
- An electrode positioned along the path of the jet, where it is broken up, enables these drops to be given an electrostatic charge if the ink is conductive.
- the drops charged in this manner are deflected in an electric field, and allow printing. Uncharged drops, which are therefore not deflected, are recovered in a groove, gutter, where the ink is sucked up, and then recycled towards the ink circuit.
- This type of ink spraying in the form of a jet provides contact-free marking at high production line speed on objects which are not necessarily flat, planar, with the possibility of changing the message at will.
- the technique is particularly suitable for marking and identification (sell-by dates, series numbers, batch numbers, barcodes, etc.) of industrial products on production lines.
- Ink compositions which are suitable for spraying and printing, using the continuous deflected jet technique, must meet a number of criteria inherent to this technique, concerning, among other elements, viscosity, electrical conductivity, solubility in a solvent for cleaning, compatibility of the ingredients, satisfactory wetting of the supports to be marked, etc.
- ink compositions for printing by the continuous deflected ink jet technique must meet result firstly from the fact that ink consumption is low when the number of printed characters in each message is small, and secondly from the fact that the jet is continuous and that the ink is recirculated many times before being sprayed.
- the ink is in contact with ambient air when nondeflected drops are sucked up, and it may absorb ambient moisture or react with the oxygen in the air, and may be modified by this means.
- ingredients which compose current inks, for printing by the continuous deflected ink jet technique are organic or mineral products; these are dyestuffs, such as dyes or pigments, resins or binders, in one or more solvent(s) which is/are more or less volatile, or in water, optionally one or more conductivity salt(s) and various additives.
- the dyestuffs are called “dyes or pigments”, depending on whether they are respectively soluble or insoluble in the solvent used.
- Pigments which are by nature insoluble, are therefore dispersed and may or may not be opaque. They give the ink its colour, its opaqueness, or particular optical properties, such as fluorescence (cf. patents or patent applications US-A-4,153,593 , US-A-4,756,758 , US-A-4,880,465 , EP-A-0 289 141 , US-A-5,395,432 , GB-A-2 298 713 ). In certain cases the dyes also themselves give the ink sufficient conductivity that there is no requirement for a conductivity salt to be added. The dyes known under the name C. I. Solvent Black 27, 29, 35 and 45 are in this case.
- Binder(s) or resin(s) is/are generally in most cases one or more solid and polymeric compound(s), and the choice of them is dictated by the solubility in the selected solvents and by their compatibility with the dyes and the other additives, but also and above all according to the properties which they give the ink film, when dry (see patents or patent applications US-A-4,834,799 , GB-A-2 286 402 , US-A-5,594,044 , US-A-5,316,575 , WO-A-96/23844 , WO-A-95/29287 ).
- the solvent of these inks consists most frequently of a mixture comprising, on the one hand, a majority, predominant, amount of volatile and weakly viscous solvents, in order to allow very rapid drying of the markings and to adjust the viscosity to the desired value, for example from 2 to 10 mPa.s and, on the other hand, more viscous and less volatile solvents which dry more slowly, in a smaller amount, in order to prevent the ink from drying in the nozzle during phases when the printing device is not in operation, is shutdown (cf. patents or patent applications US-A-4,155,767 , WO-A-92 14794 , WO-A-92 14 795 and US-A-4,260,531 ).
- the volatile solvents which are most often used are alcohols, ketones or esters of low molecular weight, as indicated in patents US-A-4,567,213 , and US-A-5,637,139 .
- these solvents essentially methanol, ethanol, 1- and 2-propanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone ("MEK”), methyl-isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, and tetrahydrofuran may be mentioned.
- the less volatile solvents are most commonly ketones, such as cyclohexanone, the glycol ethers, mentioned in documents US-A-4,024,096 and US-A-4,567,213 , ethers and acetals, such as furan or dioxane, mentioned in document US-A-4,155,767 , dimethyl formamide or dimethyl sulfoxide ( US-A-4,155,895 ), lactones ( EP-A-0 034 881 ), N-methyl pyrrolidone ( EP-A-0 735 120 ), glycols ( WO-A-96 23844 ), and even aliphatic hydrocarbons ( US-A-4,166,044 ), or water, alone or in combination with other solvents, mentioned above; reference will be made, in this connection, to documents US-A-4,153,593 , GB-A-2 277 094 and FR-A-2 460 982 .
- ketones such as cyclohexanone
- the main or majority, predominant, solvents of inks for deflected continuous ink jet spraying, printing must satisfy a number of criteria, in particular:
- the additives include dispersants which allow dispersion of the pigments, surfactants which modify the wetting or penetrating power of the ink ( US-A-5,395,431 ), in particular those which modify or regulate the static or dynamic surface tension, such as Fluorad ® FC 430 from the Company 3M ® , agents which inhibit corrosion caused by the salts which confer the conductivity mentioned above (see documents EP-A-0 510 752 , US-A-5,102,458 ), or else additives which protect the ink against proliferation of bacteria and other micro-organisms: this concerns biocides, bactericides, fungicides and others, which are particularly useful in inks containing water, pH-regulating buffers (see EP-A-0 735 120 ), anti-foaming agents.
- dispersants which allow dispersion of the pigments
- surfactants which modify the wetting or penetrating power of the ink
- static or dynamic surface tension such as Fluorad ® FC 430 from the Company 3M
- bottles are generally marked on the stopper, cap, or on the bottom of the bottle, or on any other location, with corresponding information, immediately after filling.
- Continuous deflected ink jet technology is, with CO 2 laser marking, the most appropriate technique for this high-speed marking of various information on these curved surfaces.
- the ink for continuous deflected jet printing and the deposited marking must satisfy particular requirements, notably the following:
- the adhesive tape test In order to test the adherence of the markings, the adhesive tape test, known as the "Scotch ® test” is very commonly applied. It consists in applying an adhesive tape to the marking, and then in removing this tape. The test is positive when the marking remains on the object and is not transferred to the tape.
- the ink compositions sprayed by ink jet on substrates such as packagings, made of organic polymers, notably made of plastics, and in particular on substrates made of polyolefins, for example made of polyethylenes or polypropylenes
- a surface treatment to the substrate, such as a singeing treatment or a corona treatment, and/or to include halogenated compounds, notably chlorinated compounds such as resins based on vinyl chloride, in the ink composition.
- an ink composition for printing by the continuous deflected ink jet technique which gives markings which notably have satisfactory adherence, or even adherence which is improved compared to known ink compositions, on substrates, such as packagings, made of organic polymers, notably plastics, and in particular on substrates made of polyolefins, for example made of polyethylenes or polypropylenes, without there being any need to apply a surface treatment to the substrate, such as a singeing treatment or a corona treatment, and/or to include halogenated compounds, notably chlorinated compounds, such as resins based on vinyl chloride, in the ink composition.
- ink compositions for printing by the continuous deflected ink jet technique which gives markings having satisfactory adherence (generally determined by the test known as the "adhesive tape” test), or even improved adherence compared to known ink compositions, on the said substrates, but which are free of halogenated compounds, notably chlorinated compounds, such as resins based on vinyl chloride, where these ink compositions also enable markings to be obtained which are more resistant, notably to rubbing and to alcohol.
- the aim of the invention is to provide an ink composition which is suitable for continuous deflected ink jet printing, which satisfies, among others, all the needs, requirements and criteria mentioned above, and which does not have the drawbacks, limitations, defects and disadvantages of the ink compositions of the prior art, and which overcomes the problems of the ink compositions of the prior art.

- the terpene may be chosen, for example, from pinenes, such as ⁇ -pinene or ⁇ -pinene, the carenes, dipentene, limonene, and mixtures thereof. Terpenes are generally extracted from the resin of conifers such as pine.
- a terpene-phenol resin which may be included in the ink composition according to the invention is, for example, the resin available under the name Dertophene T from the company Derives Résiniques et Terpèniques (DRT) of Dax, France (see “Technical Data Sheet” of 9 August 2011).
- copolyester resins is understood to mean, generally, amorphous copolymers resulting from polycondensation of one or more diacids or of their dialkyl esters (C1 to C6), for example dimethyl on a diol, or else of one or more hydroxyacids on themselves or their lactonic form.
- copolyesters are amorphous and therefore soluble in organic solvents, unlike crystalline copolymers, which are insoluble in organic solvents.
- copolyester resins which are included in the ink composition according to the invention do not include prepolymers carrying unsaturated functional groups in order to be polymerisable by radiation, such as the polyester-acrylates.

- the ink compositions according to the invention also enable, in a surprising manner, more resistant markings to be obtained, notably markings which are resistant to rubbing and to alcohol in particular, on organic polymers, notably plastics, and in particular on polyolefins, for example polyethylenes or polypropylenes, than the markings obtained with the ink compositions of the prior art which do not include a binder with the combination of two specific compounds according to the invention, this binder being itself combined with a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a silicon chain.
- the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a silicon chain chosen notably from among the polydimethylsiloxanes with acrylic functional groups modified by a polyether, is currently used as a "surface" additive in coating formulations which can be polymerised under the action of radiation, in order to facilitate cleaning of the surface of these coatings.
- this compound is able to provide an adherence effect of the marking on organic polymers, such as plastics, and of resistance to peeling by tape, in the ink composition according to the invention, which is far remote from a coating composition which is polymerisable to facilitate cleaning thereof, i.e. a composition for which the aims sought are different from those which it is sought to attain with the composition of the invention.

- the dye(s) is/are advantageously chosen from among the organic dye(s) which are soluble in ketones.
- the pigment(s) may advantageously be chosen from among carbon blacks, titanium oxides, and mixtures thereof.
- a preferred dye is C.I. Solvant Black 27.
- the total amount of dye(s) and/or of pigment(s) is generally 0.05% to 25% by weight, preferably 1% to 20% by weight, more preferably 3% to 10% by weight, of the total weight of the ink composition.
- the ink composition may further comprise one or more plasticiser(s) (of the resin(s) or polymer(s) or compounds of the binder) chosen, for example, from among the plasticisers known to the man skilled in the art, and chosen according to the binder used comprising one or more polymer(s) and/or resin(s); as plasticisers may, for example, be cited thermoplastic polyurethanes, phthalates, adipates, citrates and esters of citric acid, alkyl phosphates, glycerol, lactic acid, oleic acid, polypropylene glycol, triglycerides of fatty acids, levulinic acid; and mixtures thereof.

- the products imparting the ink with the conductivity required for continuous jet spraying are ionisable compounds, such as salts. It is possible that dyes, pigments, or other ingredients of the ink are themselves salts, and give the ink sufficient conductivity for there to be no requirement to add a conductivity salt as such: this is the case notably of compounds known by the name "C. I. Solvent Black 27, 29, 35 and 45", already mentioned above.
- At least one conductivity salt which is different from the dyes, pigments and other ingredients.

- this/these conductivity salt(s) will be chosen from among those which are insoluble in water (i.e., generally, the solubility of which in water is less than 0.5% by weight), such as the quaternary ammonium compounds with a fatty chain and the hexafluorophosphates or hexafluroantimonates.
- This/these conductivity salt(s) will be present, if necessary, in the ink composition so as to give the ink the above conductivity, generally in an amount of at least 0.05% by weight, preferably 0.1% to 20% by weight, more preferably 0.1% to 10% by weight, and better still 0.1% to 5% by weight, of the total weight of the ink composition.
- composition according to the invention may further comprise one or more additive(s) chosen from among the compounds which improve the solubility of certain of these components, the printing quality, the adherence, or else the control of the wetting of the ink on different supports.
- the additive(s) may be chosen, for example, from among the anti-foaming agents; the chemical stabilizers; the ultraviolet stabilizers; the surfactants, such as Fluorad ® FC 430 or Byk ® 333; the agents inhibiting the corrosion by the salts; the bactericides, the fungicides and the biocides; and the pH-regulating buffers, etc.
- the additive(s) is/are used in very low doses, generally less than or equal to 5 % and sometimes as low as 0.01 %, depending on whether they are anti-foaming agents, stabilizers or surfactants.
- the invention also relates to a method of marking a substrate, support or object by spraying on a surface of this substrate, support or object an ink composition by the continuous deflected ink jet technique in which the sprayed ink composition is the ink composition according to the invention as described above.
- the surface of the substrate, support or object is not generally subjected to any surface treatment other than simple cleaning. In other words, the surface is not subjected to any activation treatment.
